Puck

PUCK HAS CLOSED IN 2025 AND BEEN REPLACED BY MILANO RESTAURANT & BAR.

From scenic cafe to fine dining restaurant; Puck, Newstead is the perfect place to grab a bite and soak up some of the best views Brisbane has to offer.  

Open-planned and immersed in greenery - Puck is the perfect urban getaway to sit by the river and enjoy a moment of bliss after a busy week. 

Tucked away along the river in Newstead, behind concrete walls and bi-fold doors, Puck is home to a seriously good eggs Benedict and an array of freshly baked pastries. 

Come morning, the cafe buzzes with a crowd of locals in activewear, stopping in for what just might be some of the best brews in Brisbane.

On the edge of the river, Puck feels like a well-kept secret — birds chirping, the occasional laughter from neighbouring tables or people walking by. Their homemade matcha or bubble tea latte is a must-have! 

It's definitely somewhere to add to the list if you're looking for a mid-week getaway or a start-of-week reset.

There’s nothing quite like unwinding over fresh food, relaxed vibes, and great company. Spend your next free weekend indulging in Puck’s all-day brunch, or sample a little of everything with share plates from their thoughtful tapas menu.

The standout? The Newstead Duck Salad — confit duck, crisp wombok, fried noodles, malt vinegar dressing, toasted almonds — the fresh ingredients harmonise together perfectly!

Don’t skip the signature cocktails — or the mocktails. They’re more than just photo-worthy; they taste as good as they look! The talented bar staff behind the counter are the creatives behind each drink, and if you’re unsure what to order, just ask. They’ll point you in the right direction.

They also have an extensive wine list which pairs perfectly with their tapas menu. 

Need to Know - Street parking is available nearby.
